Moonlight question

[Clownfish25]

Have a 38g tank I bought an led strip that is about a foot long. It has 8 blue LEDs that produce 100 lumens . Is this to much light to leave on during the night? What amount of time should they stay on?

I think I have posted in the wrong spot but another question would be how will this effect my corals. Open brain , frogspawn, colt coral and Xenia. Posting light question in another spot.

I have my moonlights run from when my blues go off for 2 hours, until midnight. i wouldnt leave them on all night, fish and corals need dark time too.

I agree. My moonlights start at 8pm and ramp down all the way till 3am then total darkness until 7am when the light cycle starts over again.

I keep my moonlights on all night. Never has an effect on corals but they are not very bright ones either. Im gonna plug them into my PC4 and setup a cycle and see how things go that way just to experiment but i dont expect a change.
